Hi,
I am bit familiar to struts 1.1, but I think struts 1.2 version has changed certain features (eg ActionErrors to ActionMessage etc).
Is there a good book to learn struts 1.2.x.

It appears that most publishers of Struts books have not deemed the differences between Struts 1.1 and 1.2 significant enough to publish a new edition of their books. Indeed, there aren't that many significant differences. The one you mentioned is the big one. Another is the addition of "validwhen" to the validation framework. The only other significant one that I can think of is the use of wildcards in Action mappings. (Seethis link, section 4.10)

If you just get a good book on Struts 1.1 and make note of these few changes, you'll do just fine.

This link will take you to the current release notes for Struts 1.2 (currently 1.2.9):

http://struts.apache.org/struts-doc-1.2.x/userGuide/release-notes.html

To see the release notes for previous 1.2.x releases, click the "This section contains release notes for changes that have taken place since Version 1.2.X" link. The release notes for 1.2.4 looks to contain most of the changes from 1.1, but 1.2.7 also seems to have a handful of enhancements as well.
